How I Got My Wiggle Back: A Memoir of Healing Hardcover - 2012 - 1st Edition
by Anthony Field; Greg Truman (With)
For the first time, Field, the "blue" Wiggle and co-founder of the worldwide phenomenon The Wiggles, tells his inspiring, behind-the-scenes story of how he overcame depression, life-threatening illness, and chronic pain to get his life back.
From the rear cover
Anthony Field was on top of the world. As a founder and co-star of The Wiggles, the most popular children's music group in history, he sang and danced his way into the hearts of countless families around the world. Wiggles CDs and DVDs sell in the millions, the group's TV show is immensely popular among preschoolers, and the band performs to sold-out crowds around the world for hundreds of shows every year. But all was not well.
In "How I Got My Wiggle Back," Anthony, the "blue Wiggle," reveals for the first time that as he and his group soared to fame and fortune, he was locked in a downward spiral that nearly ended his career. Anthony tells the story of the years he spent suffering from joint pain, multiple allergies, chronic headaches, and clinical depression. In this book, he also talks about his remarkable recovery and the simple techniques that can help anyone suffering with similar problems to regain their health.
Anthony Field has always been dedicated to The Wiggles and their mission to engage and inspire young children with music and entertainment. In "How I Got My Wiggle Back," Anthony reminisces about the band's early years and his life from childhood to adulthood. He introduces his fellow Wiggles and recounts their leap from Australia to becoming world-class superstars. For fans, he describes in detail how the group develops its shows, the different roles each of its members plays, and the excitement of making children and their parents an integral part of every show.Anthony's story of how he beat the mysterious illnesses that threatened to end his career is both inspiring and instructive. He tells the riveting story of how two wonderful doctors isolated the root cause of many of Anthony's physical problems and set him on the road to recovery; he also provides a prescriptive self-care health program of exercise advice and nutritional information with practical action steps to relieve pain and prevent and heal disease.
Filled with more than seventy-five photographs of Anthony and his fellow Wiggles from their early days through the present, and including photos of the fitness regime that now keeps Anthony at the peak of health, "How I Got My Wiggle Back" takes you backstage and beyond to experience the joy, pain, and ultimate triumph of a global superstar at the top of his game.From the jacket flap
